Black Diamond GlideLite Mohair/Nylon MIX STS Skin
A blend of European-bred Mohair and standard nylon fibers gives the Black Diamond GlideLite Mixed STS Skins better glide, lower bulk, and a suppler feel. The STS design features Black Diamond’s adjustable elastic tail clip to fit multiple skis, and a reversible tip loop. Usually only available to the Euro market, we scored these direct from BD…and we’re stoked.
Bottom Line: Mo’ is betta.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
MadDOGGG, 130mm skins on Volkl Kuros are going to perform like boat anchors, basically because it's about the heaviest touring set-up I can imagine, especially if you have some Dukes on there. If you seriously want to tour on these, I would think about even going to a 140mm skin, if such a thing exists. That way you can trim them wall to wall. Even with 130mm skins, you would probably be leaving enough open base to have you falling on your face on steeper tracks. I would find the cheapest skin in that size, and then spend what you saved on a gym membership or a gazelle (see pic) to develop massive hip flexors so they don't explode on your first tour.
